I want to hook my ipod up to my head unit. I have a Pioneer DEH-P660 headunit. I bought a Y audio cable that plugs into the ipod and has 2 rca jacks on the other end. Do those jacks have to plug into input or output jack? do headunits have input jacks?

i have one of the tuner things, but it sounds terrible, theres tons of static and i hate it, i want it directly connected so it comes through clear.

it should plug into the RCA input jacks in the back of the unit, look in your manual on both your cable and your headunit, and it would probably be best to talk to a guy at best buy or circuit city, usally they are happy to help you out, and they should know about your headunit..... its there job

i dont think so i never tried it i bought the whole thing at the same time i think the USB can only be used to upload pictures for the background
